Hey All,
I wanted to know if it is possible to make the Houdini Launcher log me in persistently. Currently, I have to open the launcher, and "Log In" to use Houdini. If I reboot the workstation, I have to log in again. My license is setup with SideFX to be login based.. and that is perfectly fine, just wanted to know if I can be constantly logged in.

Houdini 21.0.559
Rocky Linux 10.1 with KDE

Happy Holidays.

I also have to permanently log me in each time I start the Launcher or Houdini itself.
This behavior is new to me and started a few weeks ago. Before that I only had to manually login every 2 weeks or so, so I suspected an error on my side, but obviously this is intended or a bug of the later versions of Houdini 21.

Linux Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon

Happy New Year

Hey Steffen, Thanks for verifying that it wasn't something I was doing wrong. Once the holidays are over, I hope that SideFX can provide us with a workaround or tell us it is not intended for us to have to do this.

Today this landed in 21.0.588:

Added "Wants" to hserver and sesinetd system service on Linux to ensure both services run after the network is operational. [www.sidefx.com]

which sounds like it could be (part of) the fix for our problem. Sadly the daily build is still 21.0.587... fingers crossed

EDIT: 21.0.588 is out and I didn't have to re-login since then. Might be a fluke, but so far it's looking good.

EDIT2: Spoke too soon. Today I had to log in again.

Same for me too... it didn't fix our issue.
